Love Day's
Comin'
By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! Valentine's Day is only 18 days away - as I pen this. A
reader shared with me that: "there is much I can use"
from last week's column. Thanks, reader! I strive to bring reality to
this column. Sometimes it's ugly to face. But, if we face it together -
I think we'll be ok.
I've never liked the idea of one day - Valentine's Day - being "the
day" to buy stuff - over-priced as it is - for the day to show or
say "I love you" - love should be everyday - shouldn't it?? Most of the
time I hear people's remarks about a loved ones' "actions" being
undisciplined or distasteful - not the words "I love you" themselves. I
found the following on the internet. Give it a think.
Integrity is telling yourself the truth.
Honesty is telling the truth to other people.
The first rule of life is to have a vision for
your life.
The second rule is to believe in your ability
to figure out things.
The third rule is to have fun making your
dreams happen, no
matter how hard it gets.
The fourth rule is to be patient but, always
persistent.
The fifth rule is to respect and love other
people who are also
playing this same game of life.
You either get "bitter" or "better." It's that
simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make
you a better person or you allow it to take you down. The choice does
not belong to "fate" - it belongs to
you. Josh Shipp
The 3 C's of Life
Choice Chance
Change
You must make the choice to take the chance if
you want anything in life to change.
When you choose a "life partner" (husband or wife), you're choosing a
lot of things, including your "parenting partner" and someone who will
deeply influence your children, your "eating companion" for about
20,000 meals, your "travel companion" for about 100 vacations, your
"primary leisure time and retirement friend", your "career therapist"
and someone whose day you'll hear about 18,000 times.
Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the
furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next
time. Ever Toodles!! MONA
